Access to Reproductive Care May Become More Limited in Some States
While a national abortion ban is unlikely, new regulatory changes and shifts in enforcement could still reduce access to reproductive care—especially in certain states.
What could change?
-
Stricter access to abortion medications – Federal agencies may limit availability, even in states where the procedure remains legal.
-
Weakened enforcement of emergency abortion care protections – Hospitals may no longer be required to provide medically necessary abortions, impacting care for incomplete miscarriages or pregnancy complications.
-
Increased travel for care – Women in restrictive states may be forced to seek services elsewhere, facing greater financial and logistical hurdles.
Impact on individuals and employers:
-
Employees in affected states may need travel assistance for reproductive care.
-
Employers may want to review health benefits, travel reimbursement policies, and legal compliance to support impacted staff.
